German paratroopers landed at dawn on the beaches near Marmari, after an air bombardment. Under the onslaught, Allied troops split into small groups and retreated towards the hills. A Company of DLI, cut off went westward. Eventually they linked up with a battery of 75mm Italian guns, which were still in action although under attack.
